laptop performace

[Thomas Chadwick]

Back in January I noticed the performance of Cygwin, and Cygwin/Xfree86 in 
particular, went down the tubes.  I posted to the general cygwin mailing 
list since all things cygwin were affected.  Here's a link to the root of 
the thread.  You can follow it to conclusion by hitting the "Thread Next" 
link.
